On June 25 – July 2, 2017, NU organized a program consisting of a series of corporate visits and cultural activities for 14 students visiting on a STEER (Study Trips for Engagement and EnRichment) from the National University of Singapore (NUS).

The National University of Singapore is a strategic partner of NU. As of today, more than 60 students from Singapore have visited Astana, Kazakhstan since 2015, when the program was launched in cooperation with NU. As a result, two NUS students applied and successfully accomplished a one-month internship in Astana.

STEER is a program designed to familiarize students with the diverse socio-cultural-economic environments of fast-evolving regions through a mix of classroom-based learning and experiential site visits. In 2017 main topic of the program was “Investment for the Future – a Green Economy”. Participants attended lectures of NU professors, took study visits to ministries, national companies, and think-tanks, as well as learned about diversification and development and their impact on different aspects of the society. A program also included a two-day visit to the International Specialized Exhibition EXPO-2017.
